Need Another Reason to Hate "Single Ticket" Jackpot Bets?

[hi_im_god]

I must love being hated but I think the big, bad, awful, track got it right.

We like to think of our big multi-race bets as a single ticket. But they aren't. A $403.20 pick 6 on a .20 base is 2016 individual bets. Because of the dead heat, 2 of those 2016 individual bets hit.

It's awful for the player. But the fact is, he hit 2 of his 2016 tickets.

Unless the track wants to start paying out single ticket winner pools to multiple players, they can't pay the major award to a single player that holds multiple winning tickets.
